The One of Kind Holiday Gift Guide from the Maker Market #shoplocal

Tis the season to celebrate our local makers and design talent and to discover unique gift items for those nearly-impossible-to-buy-for people on your list. Our very own Calgary Stampede Maker Market vendors have just what you need to check off your Christmas list. For a full list of our incredible 2018 Maker Market vendors, head over to the Calgary Stampede Maker Market shopping page. If you are or know a Maker, we’re busy scouting out new and exciting vendors for the 3-4 day blocks for the 2019 Calgary Stampede – Maker Market 2019.

Lucky for you the 2018 Gift Guide includes selections from both 2017 and 2018 Makers.

Yes, there is reusable food wrap from YYC Beeswax – $15. It lets food breathe so items stays fresh longer than plastic kitchen wrap (looking at you asparagus and fresh herbs!). Crumple it up in your hands to warm it up, then wrap your fresh produce or leftovers.

You’ll been in awe of these Charcuterie boards and cutting boards from Airdrie Woodworks. The woods aren’t dyed. These self-taught young artisans ( high school students!) source interesting wood varietals with natural dark brown, red and purple tones. Meet them in person at the Spruce Meadows Christmas Market.Shop Airdrie Woodworks
